My name, as you may know, is Adrián. Originally, I’m from Bilbao but I was brought up in Castro-Urdiales, a town very near Bilbao. I’m a very normal boy and in my free time I go out with my friends, play sports… I play in a handball team. We aren’t a good team, but it’s great playing with your friends; that helps you to disconnect from your daily life. I also like snowboarding. It’s an exciting sport and I want to buy my own snowboard.

I’m studying English Philology. I’ve chosen these studies because I like English and its culture… Although my level of English isn’t very high I’ve got first certificate. I think I was very lucky when I did the exam. I’ve been to London twice and last summer I was in Minneapolis for about a month. I prefer the United States to England because the weather is much better. Another advantage of the States is that there are a lot of people that come from all over the world and you can learn a lot about other cultures. I want to visit California because I’m mad about beaches and surfing.

In conclusion, I do the things that teenagers do and I’ve got an easy life without worries. I have to say that when I finish this course, I hope I’ll have a better level of English.
